Returning from the morning bike ride, I spotted a bird of ill omen: Sewer project crew unloading a track drill from a low-boy trailer on the second block of our street.

For those outside the nomenclature, a track drill is an air-powered drill, mounted on a crawler chassis. They usually appear in the vicinity of impending doom, I.E. blasting operations. Given that this is glaciated terrain and the location is a low ridge, I would suspect either shallow bedrock or a large glacial erratic (boulder.)

Boom.

Since that location is right in front of Elder Son's apartment building, I suspect he and his apartment-mates may be in for an interesting day.

Is it roadwork season there or something?

Oh, yeah. Maine offers a limited window of opportunity for road work, like May through early October. Beyond that, you run afoul of the glaciers....

(Asphalt plants close down in late October, so you can't pave even if you wanted to.)
